Fortificaţii la Porţile de Fier ale Transilvaniei

  • Subiect: Ancient Tapae was situated, perhaps, at the Iron Gates of Transylvania, the place in close relation with historical development of Romanian people living in this province. The summits of the hills, lowering from Poiana Ruscă in the north and from Ţarcu Mountains in the south, shut the long passage of Bistra Valley and set up a mountain pass between Banat and Transylvania. Here, on those hills, across the Iron Gates Railway Station, there are some ancient vestiges of defense works interesting in their shape, it's a long wall of earth massive surrounded by ditches, probably built in Dacian times in order to defend in the war against the Romans. In fact, there are three vestiges, two medieval, not in direct connection with our investigation, and an ancient one, like a spring, consisting of those walls of earth. It extends about 1500 m long, a kind of fortress as we can see in the Ponoriciu Dacian wall of earth, also very long (500 m.). To the south, near the Station, stretches another wall 600 m long. It was built in the middle of the fortification in order to defend the Gate. The works are identical with the defensive Dacian military disposition from Ponoriciu-Cioclovina. This extraordinary fortification, of Dacian origin, then the existence of the Roman castrum on the direction of Tibiscum (33 x 336, 10,3 ha) not far from the Iron Gates (4 km. distance) determine us to suppose that the ancient Tapae existed here at the Iron Gates of Transylvania.
